Collina dei Ciliegi Valpolicella Formiga 2022

Collina dei Ciliegi Valpolicella Formiga 2022 is a vivid expression of contemporary Valpolicella, bringing together the region’s classic native grapes in a fresh, approachable style. Made by La Collina dei Ciliegi in Veneto, it offers the charm and typicity of the area while staying elegant, fruit-driven, and easy to enjoy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby-red color with youthful clarity. The nose leans toward fresh red cherries, wild berries, violets, and a light herbal lift, with a subtle savoury edge that adds complexity. On the palate, expect a supple, juicy texture with lively acidity and fine tannins, making the wine feel balanced and very food-friendly. Its style is designed for early enjoyment rather than long cellaring, though it should hold well over the near term as the fruit settles and the savoury notes become more pronounced.

Production
This Valpolicella is crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, grapes closely tied to the hills of Veneto and the broader Valpolicella zone. While specific vineyard and vinification details are not provided, the wine’s character suggests a focus on preserving freshness, aromatic purity, and the natural balance of the native varieties through careful, precise winemaking.

Food & Serving
A versatile red like this pairs well with antipasti, cured meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, and lighter meat dishes. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short time in the glass can help the aromas open up.
